Poison Lasagna is an Arsenal FC fanzine dreamt up by creative agency eighteen86, aficionados of ‘unofficial arsenal stuff’ including merch, wine, incense, and this zine, operating out of a small ephemera filled shop/museum near the stadium. This lithoprinted latest edition arrives decked out in trademark Arsenal red, with triumphant artwork from illustrator Daryl Rainbow on the cover.
Issue six is devoted to defining moments from the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League and Arsenal’s explosive near miss at reclaiming their title. Inside, editor Ed Fenwick pens a series of first person accounts, recalling a selection of early wins versus Tottenham, Newcastle and Brighton, and continuing to follow events as they unravelled all the way to the final, accompanied throughout by Gunners caught on camera both elated and heartbroken. Plus, flick to the end of the edition for an interview with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, delving into the fan/team dynamic, and why football matters so much.
